To Geikie Gorge WA

Geikie Gorge National Park is a national park in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, 1,837 kilometres northeast of Perth and approximately 420 km east of Broome by road.
The Gorge is not far from Fitzroy Crossing in WA.

Geikie Gorge has been carved by the Fitzroy River through part of an ancient limestone barrier reef which snakes across the west Kimberley. It was laid down in an ancient sea that covered a large part of the Kimberley in Devonian times, some 350 million years ago.

There are Freshwater Crocodiles up the Gorge, these are smaller than saltwater ones.

Fitzroy River - when it rains in the big wet (summer time) it can and does flood

Lovely picturesque Gorge. One can take a guided tour for a reasonable price. The tour takes 1 and 1/2 hours.

When the Fitzroy River is in full flood during the wet season (summer) it covers the whole national park. Those floods rise over 16 metres up the gorge walls and the continuous rise and fall of the water has left the bottom of the walls bleached white, an intriguing sight which makes Geikie Gorge very popular with photographers.

The rock is limestone.
